Afterword
People are, on the whole, only capable of thinking from a subjective standpoint. Even if one tries to be objective in their opinions or their viewpoint, that so-called objectivity they strive for is nothing more than their subjective perception of what objectivity means. Even if a majority of people are willing to acknowledge something as the objective truth, that still doesn’t mean that it is truly objective—it just means that a majority of people’s subjective beliefs happen to line up with each other.
That’s how I see things, anyway...but of course, all of that is nothing more than my subjective opinion. I can’t say what is or isn’t a universal truth or an undeniable reality. Of course, if you look at all of this from another perspective, then it means that every last person in the world is trapped within a prison of their own subjectivity...but, I mean, does that really... Yeah, okay, I’m done with this.
In conclusion: thinking about this sorta philosophical jazz on a daily basis makes me hella cool.
And now that that’s over with, long time no see! This is Kota Nozomi. This volume centered around our cast’s resident upperclassman, but boy, did it really feel like things sorta went off the rails right at the end! Really makes you wonder what’s going to happen in the next volume, huh? And since I can’t come up with a good segue, let’s move right along into an announcement!
Get this: When Supernatural Battles Became Commonplace is getting a manga adaptation!
The manga’s scheduled to begin serialization this month (that is, July of 2013) in the magazine Comp Ace, and it will be drawn by Kousuke Kurose. First the radio drama, and now this! I couldn’t be happier that this series is moving deeper into the world of mixed media. Speaking as the original author, I’m incredibly excited to see how the literary club crew and a certain big brother and his gang will be illustrated.
Now then, let’s move on to the thanks! First, to my editor, Nakamizo: thank you once again for being such a big help this volume. While I’m at it, I should also thank you for seeking me out when I was all sad and alone at this year’s award ceremony and helping me break my way into the social scene there.
Next: to 029. I know your schedule’s been all sorts of busy lately, so thank you for once again providing such wonderful illustrations. I know that I have a way of coming up with some incredibly obnoxious requests each and every volume, and I’ll never cease to be thankful for how you always manage to make them 120% as good as I was hoping they would be.
Finally, and most of all, thank you to all the readers who have kept up with this series all the way to the fourth volume!
And with that, may we meet again, if the fates allow it!
Kota Nozomi
